Morgan Taylor-Jackson can't wait for high school to end. In six months she leaves for UCLA and says goodbye to La Jolla, California and her parents' messy divorce. But when Morgan is bitten by a four-year-old boy, she becomes infected with a mysterious condition. Fever, insomnia, and a new bustline are only the beginning; Morgan morphs from nerd to bombshell.

As far as Van Xander is concerned, all vampires are evil, even the ones who reject human sacrifice and call themselves Puritans. When Helsing Incorporated sends Van to La Jolla to investigate the local coven, Morgan is his prime target. Pretending to be interested in her, Van asks Morgan out and puts her through a series of tests to determine her killer nature.

Morgan is thrilled to be dating a hot guy like Van and falls for him hard. As Van strings Morgan along, he grows increasingly guilty. Morgan is kind, compassionate, and a gooey romantic. Just as Van's mind begins to change, evil forces threaten everything. When prom night arrives, there are only two ways out of the ballroom: death or immortality.

Bit Me Excerpt by Louise Cypress

Morgan

A ten-year commitment? Who’d heard of such a thing? Sometimes Mom took her independence in a direction that made me uncomfortable. I walked down the hallway to the entryway and into the powder room. A crystal chandelier hung over the toilet, and the air freshener smelled like spring rain.

Either Mom and Lukas were truly in love with each other, or they weren’t. And if it wasn’t true love, they were wasting their time.

I washed my hands at the sink and dried them on a lace-trimmed hand towel. Maybe I’d read too many romance novels, but I would never commit to someone on a wait-and-see basis. Maybe that’s what Gwen meant about me being picky, but if so, I didn’t care. I’d rather be alone than with someone who was the wrong fit.

I hung the towel back on its hook and composed myself. If I showed one hint of disapproval, Mom would be all over me. I turned around to open the door.

But it was already open.

“Hello, Morgan.” Daris wore footed pajamas with dinosaurs on them.

“Um, hi.”

“I want to tell you a secret.”

“Great.” I tried to walk past Daris and into the hallway, but he blocked my path. Do preschoolers not understand about privacy?

“Bend down so I can tell you my secret.” Daris cupped his hands around his mouth like he was going to whisper something.

“Ouch!” I cried. But it was too late. My feet slipped out from under me, and I stumbled forward. My head thumped against the toilet, and I crashed to the marble floor.
